Eight Petal Flower Bead Ring Tutorial

When I was in junior high, I went to the mall and saw a beaded flower bracelet that I fell in love with. It was about ten dollars, so it was out of my budget. I remember going to check it out everyday because I thought it was so cool, but knowing that I didn't have the money to buy it. I would carefully examine the bracelet, trying to figure out how it was made, then run home and try to replicate it. One day I finally prevailed and was able to figure it out. I was so excited about the bracelet I wore it to school the very next day. A girl in my gym class liked it so much she offered me five dollars for it. Being short on money at the time, and calculating it out, the bag of beads was only 50 cents, and the thread was free (from my mom) so this seemed like a good deal. I gave her the bracelet and she said she would bring me five dollars the next day. The next day came and went and she never paid me. After a week I asked her about the money and she said "what bracelet?" like the transaction never took place. I was devastated, confused, and angry. But I did nothing. I never told anyone this story because I was so embarrassed at how naive I was.

Every time I see any beaded piece of jewelry I think of this story. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. It makes me sad to think that there are mean spirited people out there and that I was so passive I never stood up for myself. It makes me happy because I know I've come a long way from then and I am no longer the passive scared little girl.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial on how to make this eight petal flower bead ring (which could be also made into a bracelet). Maybe you can make it for someone you love to give them a little happiness.

That story is so sweet because we've all had the heartbreak experience of being too naive as kids - all of us nice ones do, anyway. Well, I bet that girl didn't turn out to be half the woman you are, my friend!

i just discovered your blog and love it!!! i made these in junior high too! i dissected an already made one until i finally figured it out... then i couldn't stop making them and had all of these tiny beads scattered all over the house! great story + great tutorial.

I'm very sorry for your childhood trauma, but I do wonder that it never occurred to you to call the teal, blue and purple beads "colored" beads to distinguish them from the white beads instead of calling them all purple.

Hi! We had a submission to craftfail.com with someone who didn't quite make a successful ring. We are using your image with a link back to you and credit (with "inspiration" so people know it's not a fail). It will be up Friday 3/30.

Oh my, this is terrbily cute! Thank you for sharing the tutorial!!I linked it in a serie I'm writing for my blog (http://rock-n-roll-stops-the-traffic.blogspot.it/2012/03/diy-from-head-to-toe-5.html), hope you don't mind :D

What a stinkpot she was! Love the ring. I think I'm going to pick up some beads and make this with my daughter tonight. I needed a craft for us and this is perfect! In fact, I may expand on it and make a "choker" for her. I think she'd really love that! BTW - check your comments. You have a lot of spam :-(

in tutorials there is like needles on ends of fishing line what are they called and where can u find them.. I am trying to venture into beaded rings. all turtorials tell u supplies but nothing is ever mentioned about those needles

It's a special needle. It's. Called a beading needle. I can't live without them ! I the typical size usedfor just about everything beading is a size 12, sometimes a size 11. You can find them at almost any craft store that sell beading supplies. I've found that Michael's carries those sizes all the time. They are in the jewelry findins section with the memory wire etc.
